If you thought it would take forever for you to get a dental crown, think again. While, in the past, it might have taken a few trips to the dentist to get a traditional crown, thanks to CEREC technology our dentist Dr. L. Wes Turnage in Gaffney, SC, can give you a beautiful new restoration in just one visit.
CEREC is a state-of-the-art technology that allows us to create everything from dental crowns and veneers to onlays and overlays in just a single appointment. Instead of employing an outside dental lab to make your crown, now we have all the technology available in our office to not just design but also make your dental crown right here on our premises. The crown looks just like a traditional crown and it’s even made from quality, long-lasting materials.
What are the advantages of getting CEREC crowns?
There are many benefits that you will enjoy when you get CEREC crowns:
A realistic restoration
Even though we fabricate your crown right here that doesn’t mean that the crown won’t look as realistic as crowns that an outside dental lab produces. Not only do we use resilient material such as porcelain from which to create your crown, but the material is also matched to the shade of your tooth so that it blends in with the rest of your smile. The material also offers natural transparency just like real tooth enamel.
A perfectly fitted tooth
Sure, traditional crowns also boast a custom fit, but CEREC’s CAD software allows us to fully customize your crown for the most precise fit you can get. Plus, digital impressions also allow us to capture more accurate and detailed measurements, which ultimately means a crown that will fit comfortably.
No messy impressions
If you’ve ever had to get a dental crown in the past then you may remember that we had to use a putty material to take impressions of your mouth. Not anymore! Thanks to CEREC, we can scan your mouth digitally, which takes only a minute or two and can produce the high-resolutions images we need without having to use those old impression materials.
Say goodbye to temporary crowns
We know our patients just want to have a fully restored smile as quickly as possible and now that we offer same-day crowns, you won’t have to worry about wearing a temporary crown while you wait for your restoration to be made.
What are the other advantages of CEREC crowns:
- They protect weak teeth and restore broken teeth.
- Crowns restore severely discolored or misshapen teeth.
- Crowns are used to cover a dental implant and make cosmetic modifications.
- Reinforces teeth and makes them more resilient.
CEREC crowns are a great option for people who want a quick, safe and effective treatment for undesirable and weak teeth. If you have any questions regarding CEREC crowns and would like to speak with Dr. L. Wes Turnage, don't hesitate to call him at his Gaffney, SC, office at (864) 489-4708 today.
